I work at a Student Health Center for a University where we see lots of kids with out of state insurance. Has anybody else had problems with them denying the COVID-19 testing or Office Visits as out of network? From what I'm reading from the laws that were passed I would think that they shouldn't be denying. Here's a summary that I have regarding the laws:

On April 11, 2020, the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Treasury, and Labor jointly issued guidance to implement the COVID-19-related coverage provisions outlined in two recent pieces of legislation: the Families First Coronavirus Response (Families First) Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Collectively, these two bills require comprehensive private health insurance plans to cover COVID-19 testing and related services without cost-sharing.

Does anyone have any additional information or insight on this situation? Many thanks for any help.
